Creating the Special Users for Password Reset

Password Reset uses special users in the process of resetting password. While you can set these to different values, they are often set to the user name "FORGOT" with the password "PASSWORD". Logging in as this user places you in the Password Reset process. You can also create other user names that will start the Password Reset process in other languages.

To create these users, select 41. Create User from the Activation menu (shown in Working with the ZAUTH Subsystem). The Create User Profile (CRTUSRPRF) screen appears.

For the general Password Reset user, set the User profile field to "FORGOT" and the User password field to "PASSWORD". The text in the user interface will appear in the system's default language.

To create users for other languages, set the User profile field to "FORGOTyyy" where "yyy" is the three-letter identifier for the language. For example, the user for the Italian language would be "FORGOTITA" and the user for Hebrew would be "FORGOTHEB".

Once you have entered the information for the user, press the F3=Exit key to save the entry. The Activation screen appears.
